Abstract

A system (100) and method (300) for measuring network performance include a first probe (106) in a network (101), the first probe operable to receive a data packet (103) and to create a clone packet (104) based on the data packet, the clone packet having a destination (108) the same as a destination of the data packet and having information identifying the clone packet as a clone, the first probe operable to insert the clone packet into a data stream with the data packet.
